Students are encouraged to explore the opportunities 
available in the department of their major for undergraduate research. 
In a variety of formats—on-campus or off-campus, as a paid internship or
 for academic credit—Hendrix students may participate in 
faculty-directed research projects. As a part of the undergraduate 
experience, student research is an instructional format providing 
first-hand understanding of methods through which knowledge is gained in
 a particular field. These projects often lead to the presentation of 
results at departmental colloquia or seminars, state or regional 
meetings. Students interested in these opportunities 
should consult with their faculty advisors or the chairs of the major 
departments.
